NOTHING is safe from these people. They will never stop. While it wasn't much better back in the day, I am quickly becoming convinced when you mix Marxism with post modernism, you get the perniciousness of Marxism, and the utter mind-sickly nihilism of post modernism.
So they use marxist tactics to worm themselves into things that work, and use their post modernist minds, philosophy to destroy it.
You could see them as a more weaselly and cowardly Kefka from final fantasy 6.
They want to as he put it "Create a monument to non existence".
Honestly, I don't know if there is any other way to deal with them than to never allow them any power whatsoever, possibly having them full on committed and imprisoned, or to put them out of their own and everyone else's misery.
I don't say that lightly and I don't enjoy saying it but these people do seem pretty miserable and insane. They don't ever seem to enjoy anything and they only seem to wish to spread their misery around and destroy everything functional. Furthermore they seem to be utterly incapable of being reasoned with.. As if they were some sort of demon or something, or a cancer given a body and a sentient mind.
It's a serious problem and I can't think of one good way to deal with it. Everything seems to either not work,be highly passive and reactionary against them when they break something or be brutal, nasty and heavy handed.
And yeah, I find myself often wondering at a peaceful solution to these people. They fundamentally reject knowledge, ideas, responsibility, and most every cornerstone of modern society. Cancerous parasites in a literal sense. They exploit pretty much every positive trait in people: Empathy for the unfortunate, Charity for the poor, Tolerance of people different than you, compassion for those who are less able than you, and protection of those less able to protect themselves.
The end result of the unholy trinity of marxism, feminism, and postmodernism can only be one of two things: the death of society, or the death of virtue.
Although I already gave up on western entertainment, I'm stil amazed these people won't stop until they get their grubby hands on any franchise that looked fondly upon and trample those entertainment beyond recognition. Last year was Doctor Who and Thundercats, and just a month ago, He-man got a bad re-makeover.
I'm just glad I have little to no attachments to any western entertainment. I used to have nostalgic attachment with Baldur's gate and Knights of the old republic but I saw it coming from mile away it's only a matter of time Bioware and Obsidian will change for the worse once the key figures leave the companies. So I think key message in this thread is leave any lingering attachments to your favourite series that have mainstream appeal. Having any kind of expectation for any remakes (and sequels) seem recipe for more disappointment. Just look what happened to Vampire Bloodline.
Right so...
Why do you have low standards?
I don't get torn up about this or that being destroyed, because my assumption is THAT'S THE NORM. I expect it of everything. And because of it, I don't notice or care when something is ruined, or why, because it's my default assumption
I have such a low expectation of the world, that rather than walking around looking for reasons to be disappointed, I walk around looking for reasons to be impressed.
I'm repeating myself but.... I think it's just you that you got crushed so hard by constant disappointment of Gundam, you expect nihilism out of everybody.
When I watch anime, I don't expect it to be highbrow art that will change my life. I watch it to get entertained. FFS don't expect some intricate and intellectual storyline from anime. Or are you one of those pretentious anime connoisseur that treats ghibli and 70's anime as masterpiece and look down on pleb anime like some kind of germs?
If you go through life being surprised by the next thing to go downhill, you're choosing to be angry. You are literally choosing to feed yourself a stream of things to be angry about instead of living to find things to enjoy, and do, and build, and create.
If you want to be in the enlightenment, be my guest but don't shove your views down my throat preaching to me about how I'm choosing to be angry when you came here with passive-aggressive attitude.
Uh, no. If that is your reading of my tone, you are mistaken.
99% of the time, if I'm posting on KiA2 it's in a bemused, trollish, lolzy attitude.
I don't go on forums when I'm angry. I go on forums to have fun.
